Palanquin of the Yokai King
At first I heard matsuri sounds—the pounding of drums, the clanging of bells, shouting, and singing. But it wasn't time for the next festival. When I turned around, the most exquisite palanquin approached, surrounded by utter pandemonium. The Night Parade of 100 Demons! I had to join in on the procession!
The Yokai King always travels in style. His personal palanquin, for travel throughout the Japan, is no exception. This ornate box with a central carrying pole at the top always catches onlookers' attention. On the outside, gold-filigree inlay ornaments dark, lacquered wood. Transparent rice paper covers the viewing slots, allowing light inside while providing privacy for the occupant. Inside, seasonal nature paintings on a gold background give off a cheery atmosphere. Handholds allow the rider to stay upright as the palanquin is hoisted onto the bearer's shoulders. A soft, coordinating silk cushion finishes the decor.

What a creative entry for the vehicle prompt! Are the palanquin bearers like the magical equivalent of AI or are they sentient beings that suddenly find themselves in the position of having to carry people around? (That would be unfortunate)
They are servants who pride themselves on their position. Chosen, but not unhappy. ;)
And thank you very much for your kind words! <3
Well, I'm glad they like their position!
